Hello everyone,
I’m forwarding a message about a call for proposals for an “Untextbook” project that some people here in British Columbia are working on re: critical and open approaches to design in supporting OER and OEP development. If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Harrison (mharrison(a)tru.ca<mailto:mharrison@tru.ca>). They are a great bunch of people and it is an interesting project.
Thanks,
Brenda

Subject: Call for proposals - OER Librarians group
On behalf of our research team, Irwin DeVries, Tannis Morgan, Michael Paskevicius and myself, I invite you to consider making a written or other media contribution to an open resource for learning design students and professionals to critically examine contemporary issues and practice in learning design. We are using a modified WordPress instance that has been designed with an invitation for ongoing evolution, extension, and reframing of the original content. Our hope is that students will continue to add to this resource as part of their coursework in a process of ongoing co-creation in a manner consistent with open licensing and pedagogy.
We are seeking textual contributions between 750-1500 words or video/audio contributions no longer than 15 minutes. Brief proposals are due by November 29.
The following topic areas are of particular interest:
-Designing for open platforms and tools
-Assessment
-Learning design in different settings (HE, corporate, public service, etc,)
-Leadership in learning design
-Open pathways for learning – outcomes and frameworks
-Learning design from various worldviews
-Open pedagogies and practices
-Inclusive and/or Universal Designs for Learning
-Scale, space and place in digital design
-Data, surveillance and privacy
Full details of the call and important dates can be found on our website: https://rethinkld.opened.ca/2021/11/call-for-proposals/
Please reach out if you have any questions.

Dear colleagues,
BCcampus would like to invite you to attend the Trades Summit Series 2021<https://bccampus.ca/event/trades-summit-series-2021/?instance_id=3383>.
Every Monday in November, join Tim Carson, provincial representative for open education in the trades, for opportunities for trades educators to explore different avenues for their course design and delivery.
Dates are Nov. 1, Nov. 8, Nov. 15, Nov. 22, and Nov. 29, from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Pacific time.
This five-week summit series will cover the following topics:
* Pathways. Journey from Face 2 Face to Hybrid — with Lucy Griffiths (yesterday, Nov. 1)
* Leveraging Technology for Team-Based Learning — with Chad Flinn
* Humanizing Assessments — with Nicki Rehn
* Building Communities of Practice: From the Micro to the Macro — with Sally Vinden
* Podcasts for Learning Trades? — with Tim Carson
Participants are encouraged to attend each session, as each week builds on the last in hopes of creating a community of practice among trades faculty and staff. The last session with Tim Carson will be a live podcast recording.
This event is free. To ensure we have an inclusive and welcoming environment for all, we’ve added registration to all our sessions.
Register for the Trade Summit Series<https://events.eply.com/2021TradesSummitNov1> (there is one registration form to gain access to all five events).
